Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for cutting open the stomach of a bird, especially the stomach of a turkey and to an apparatus for carrying out said method, comprising a cutting means and positioning means for positioning the stomach relative to the cutting means.
- While processing birds for obtaining products to be sold one of the steps comprises cutting open the stomach which previously has been eviscerated from the bird in a way know per se. After the stomach has been cut open its contents are removed and, using a so called stomach peeler, the stomach membrane is separated from the stomach.
- the cutting means comprises a rotating knife.
- the stomach is guided along the rotating knife through the positioning means in such a way that a cut is made along the entire length of a stomach wall, after which the stomach as it were may be folded open to a planar position. In this open position the contents of the stomach can be removed and the stomach can be supplied to the stomach peeler.
- Such a known method and apparatus, in which the cutting means comprises a rotating knife, have several disadvantages.
- the setting of the rotating knife should occur extremely precisely in order to avoid that the cut made by the rotating knife not only extends in one stomach wall but also in the opposite stomach wall. In this respect it is complicating that the stomachs of different birds have different dimensions.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that at least one high-pressure liquid jet is used for cutting only one stomach wall and for internally pressurizing the stomach.
- the stomach of the bird can be cut open in an extremly effective way.
- the highly pressurized liquid jet enters through the respective wall of the stomach and into the stomach cavity. There the pressure of the liquid jet has diminished that far that the opposite stomach wall is not damaged.
- the liquid jet creates a pressure rise in the stomach cavity which supports the cutting action of the liquid jet in such a way that starting from the already made cut the stomach as it were bursts open.
- the high pressure liquid jet functions in two ways: at one hand for making a cut in the stomach wall and at the other hand for creating an internal pressure in the stomach cavity such as to further tear open the stomach wall as starting from that cut. This combined effect provides for a quick and effective cutting open of the stomach of the bird, even with relatively low pressures of the liquid jet.
- the apparatus according to the invention is characterized in that the cutting means consists of at least one nozzle (9) for ejecting a high-pressure liquid jet.
- the nozzle is oriented such as to eject the liquid jet in upward direction, whereas the positioning means comprise a conveyor for conveying the stomach to be cut open overhead the nozzle.
- stomach is cut open by the liquid jet leaving the nozzle the internal surface of the stomach uncovered then is directed downwards, such that the contents of the stomach can be flushed downwards by the liquid without contaminating the outer surface of the stomach.
- the nozzle is displaceable towards or away from the stomach to be processed.
- the nozzle can be positioned at the ideal distance from the stomach for an optimised cutting operation.
- the nozzle is spring-loaded towards the stomach to be processed.
- the nozzle automatically adapts itself to the shape of a passing stomach.
- the nozzle is mounted at the outer end of an arm pivoting in a vertical plane, said outer end engaging the stomach through guiding means.
- the guiding means may comprise at least one follower roll. The follower roll follows the contour of the stomach to be processed, thus providing an automatic adaption of the position of the nozzle to the passing stomach.
- the apparatus for cutting open the stomach of a bird according to the invention may be part of several apparatuses for processing slaughtered poultry known per se, such as a stomach peeler for peeling the stomach of a bird.
- the apparatus for cutting open the stomach of a bird illustrated in fig. 1 comprises a conveyor shaped as a chain 1 with carriers 2.
- the chain 1 runs around chain wheels 3.
- a number of guidings 4 extend, for example shaped as guiding rods.
- the illustrated embodiment comprises two guidings 4.
- the stomachs 5 to be cut open are supplied through a hopper 6.
- the stomachs 5 decend along the hopper and are gripped by the carriers 2 of chain 1 and are moved along the guidings 4, in the drawing from left to right.
- an arm 8 pivoting around a pivot 7 which carries a nozzle 9 at its free outer end.
- the arm 8 is upwardly loaded by a spring 10.
- the arm 8 Apart from the nozzle 9 the arm 8 also carries a follower roll 11 near its free outer end.
- the nozzle 9 is connected to a, not illustrated, source for providing pressurized liquid through a hose 12.
- the liquid may consist of water.
- the stomachs 5 supplied through the hopper 6 are moved along the guidings 4 by the carriers 2 of the chain 1.
- the follower roll 11 engages the lower side of the stomach thus pivoting the arm 8 against the spring load of the spring 10 towards such a position that the nozzle 9 is at a favorable distance from the stomach 5 for carrying out its cutting action.
- the stomach 5 passes overhead the nozzle 9 the highly pressurized liquid jet leaving the nozzle 9 cuts open the respective stomach wall, as a result of which the liquid jet also may enter the stomach cavity. Due to the cutting action of the liquid jet and the pressure created by the liquid jet entering the stomach cavity the respective stomach wall is cut open quickly and effectively.
- the stomach 5 After passing the nozzle 9 the stomach 5 is folded open by the guidings 4, which are correspondingly shaped, and in some cases is supplied to an apparatus for a further operation (not illustrated).
- an apparatus may comprise a stomach peeler.
